Chapter 184 Xiao Baojing, I’m scared

Xiao Baojing was forced to retreat step by step until her thin back hit the tree trunk. Her slender white hands unconsciously rested on the boy’s chest. Through the clothes, she could clearly feel the boy’s heat and hardness with her palms.

The scents were entangled, the smell of grass and dew overwhelmed the scent of orange flowers, enveloping Xiao Baojing like an invasion.

It was not until the girl was kissed so hard that she could hardly breathe and bit him cruelly that Shang Bingjiu slowly retreated.

He licked his bloody lips, his fox eyes stained with a cold and deep snow color: “My little princess is so cruel.”

Xiao Baojing raised his sleeve to wipe his lips and looked away guiltily.

“I lost your scent all of a sudden…” Shang Bingjiu stared at her closely, as if afraid that she would disappear in front of him again in the next moment. “My sense of smell has always been very sharp, but that night, your scent suddenly disappeared in the house. I searched for a hundred miles but couldn’t find you. Xiao Baojing, I’m very scared.”

It was the first time the boy called her by her name.

His voice was clear, but trembling slightly, like the first snow falling on delicate branches.

Xiao Baojing looked up at him.

He was so tall and straight, and his thin muscles made him look thin but not skinny. The dark black brocade robe embroidered with gold outlined his beautiful and sharp waistline. He had shed the lazy and leisurely look of the Taoist robe and hairpin flowers, and looked more like a new emperor of a dynasty.

Now, the new emperor who rules the world told Xiao Baojing that he was very scared.

Xiao Baojing reached out and gently touched his cheek.

The soft fingertips gently stroked his jaw, fell on his thin lips like a spring breeze, and slowly moved along the bridge of his nose to his brow bone and forehead, until finally falling on his head.

She stroked his head, just as she had stroked his cheek with her branches full of orange blossoms a thousand years ago when she was still an orange tree.

She said softly, “I’m sorry, I won’t leave again.”

Shang Bingjiu didn’t say anything, just held the back of her hand and rubbed her palm with his cheek.

Xiao Baojing took a deep breath and coaxed him in a crisp voice: “Then the peace talks I mentioned before-“

White bones poked out from the soil and wrapped around Xiao Baojing like a cage.

Xiao Baojing was shocked: “Peddler!”

The one that crawled out of the soil was the big skeleton that followed Lan Ji. The big skeleton imprisoned Xiao Baojing in its chest cavity. Its snow-white and eerie ribs were like the bars of a cage, preventing her from escaping.

Shang Bingjiu smiled, reached his hand into the chest of the skeleton, and touched Xiao Baojing’s head: “The decisive battle will start tomorrow, I can’t be distracted anymore. Little princess, stay here obediently, and I will come to find you after I devour the sun tomorrow.”

The cold wind blew on his brocade robe, and the wide sleeves and hem of the robe fell like layers of dark clouds. Occasionally, when it was lifted up, it would reveal a sickly pale wrist and dark blue sharp nails.

His eyebrows and eyes seemed to have been redrawn with ink. Against the backdrop of his snow-white fox face, the evil aura lingering in his eyebrows and eyes seemed real and terrifying.

Xiao Baojing couldn’t help but think that maybe he had always been like this, but she had always ignored him in the past.

She beat the skeleton. “I know you want to avenge your brother, but a thousand years have passed. You are now the new emperor of the demon race. You should inherit responsibility instead of hatred. Your brother swallowed the sun for the sake of his people. If he were still alive, he would never agree with your absurd and barbaric behavior of killing one thousand enemies and injuring eight hundred of your own! Peddler! Shang Jiu! Shang Jiu!”

Shang Bingjiu has crossed the Great Wall of Demons and disappeared into the sky.

Xiao Baojing sat cross-legged in anger, sulking with his hands in his pockets.

After a while, she ordered, “Big Skeleton, we are acquainted after all, can you please let me out?!”

The big skeleton stood there quietly.

Previously, at the Wendao Academy of the Gu Song Dynasty, it did not keep a close eye on the queen and watched helplessly as the queen was abducted into the water by Lu Xueying and returned to Southern Tang. At that time, it was severely punished by its owner.

If we don’t keep a close eye on it this time, it will definitely get beaten again!

The big skeleton sighed and didn’t dare to pay attention to Xiao Baojing.

Xiao Baojing rolled her almond-shaped eyes, suddenly raised her head, and said mysteriously: “As long as you let me go, I will reward you with many natural treasures. After you take them, your power will increase greatly, and you can directly cultivate into a human being! You also know that I am the queen of the demon clan, and I always have a few rare treasures in my hands…” She kept making promises.

But the big skeleton still ignored her.

Xiao Baojing tried many methods.

Cheating, trafficking, coercion, inducement, and both soft and hard tactics.

However, this big skeleton was like a big fool. Not only did it not let her out, it just stood there like a root under its feet, not moving at all, and strictly followed Shang Bingjiu’s orders!
Xiao Baojing was so anxious that he hung upside down in its chest, scratching his head and thinking of a way to get out.

The north wind brought snow and hail, and after one night, a layer of ice crystals appeared at the corners of her eyebrows and eyes.

Xiao Baojing’s round almond-shaped eyes finally lit up, not knowing what he was thinking of.

She took out a piece of cloth and spread it in the cage, then sat cross-legged, and took out the dried sweet potatoes and chewed them slowly.

She said, “Never mind, I don’t expect to escape now. But it’s boring to stay here, can you give me some fun? I remember you have a little skeleton next to you, can you ask it to come out and perform for me?”

The big skeleton scratched his head.

Xiao Baojing has a very high status in the demon clan, and it must serve her well.

Thinking of this, the big skeleton summoned the small skeleton.

Xiao Baojing narrowed his eyes.

Just like what she had seen in the ancient painting “Skeleton Fantasy Picture”, the large and small skulls were connected by countless transparent silk threads.

The difference is that these threads are not the big skeleton controlling the small skeleton in a unilateral manner, they seem to be able to control each other.

Xiao Baojing curved his almond-shaped eyes, with an innocent look on his face: “I want to watch the skeleton show.”

The big skeleton nodded and moved his fingers obediently.

As it pulled the silk thread, the little skeleton tied in a small skirt danced in the woods, looking weird yet funny.

Xiao Baojing laughed loudly and clapped his hands, “How funny!”

After finishing the dance, Xiao Baojing waved his hand: “Come here, I want to reward you with some dried sweet potatoes.”

The little skeleton came running over happily. Xiao Baojing handed it a handful of dried sweet potatoes. When it reached out to take it, he suddenly grabbed its little hand.

Countless orange branches spread along Xiao Baojing’s hands to the little skeleton, directly tearing the silk threads connecting it.

Xiao Baojing took the initiative and his ten fingers flew.

When she was still a puppet, she was controlled by the peddler several times.

I have some experience in how to control puppets.

The big skeleton was stunned and had no time to react before Xiao Baojing controlled it to stretch out his hand and slowly open its ribs.

“goodbye!”

The girl jumped out of the skeletal cage lightly and disappeared in the eyes of the two skeletons in an instant.

The big and small skeletons looked at each other. Although they had no flesh and blood, they could clearly see the expressions of panic on each other’s faces. They quickly ran into the depths of the wilderness.

Xiao Baojing climbed over the Great Wall of Demons.

The sound of fighting could be heard from afar.

The two armies have started fighting!
